It comprised five associations of Jewish religious communities: the Provincial Association of Israeli Religious Communities in Moravia, the Provincial Association of Jewish Religious Communities in Silesia, the Association of Prague Jewish Religious Communities, the Association of Bohemian Religious Communities in Bohemia, and the Association of Israeli Religious Communities in Bohemia with German as their official language. The council acted as a mediator between the associations themselves and between the associations (or the associated communities in the associations) and the state authorities.
